Mr.. Bayard's idea was probably that,

the position Of the United States in the
contention concerning the Atlantic

The Marauding Reds.

The annual trouble with the Indians in
northern Montana has commenced once
more. This time many Of our own In
dians are banded with those from the
north to repeat their work of stealing
horses from the settlers in Montana.
Heretofore our people have borne patient
" with these outrages, but the impression
prevails that they will no longer submit
to thus being robbed of their accumula-
tion of stock, and propose that unless the
government will give them adequate pro-
lection to assume the responsibility and
end it all, or at least put a check upon
these raiding Indians. The authorities in
the northwest territories may be doing all
in their power to prevent these raids, but
they are not meeting with much success.
This sort of thing should be stopped if it
takes every soldier in the department of
Dakota or the u. S. army to bring it about.
More stock is stolen and damage done ey-
cry year by marauding Indians than it
costs to pay the troops in this department.
We still insist that for the better protec-
ton of settlers the troops each year should
be placed in camps near the boundary.
This wonld have the effect of mskfng the
indians more cautious and there would be
bare possibility that some of the raiders
might be caught and punished
